*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*
Thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for the video. You say my day and save me like $150. Thank you😅😅
You're welcome!!
Excellent video showing how to replace a fan/light fixture. In 4 years a lot has changed with the way fan/light fixtures are now installed. For my fan/light fixture I installed wireless receiver/transmitters to separately turn the fan and light on/off. The wireless units eliminate having to fish wires through the walls. The light receiver includes a 4 level dimmer which is necessary with the brightness of LED bulbs. The receivers fit inside the fan housing with only the antenna sticking out. Very easy install.
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. czcams.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
Great! Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!! I was struggling until I watched your video. I was able to remove my old ceiling fan easily after watching.
That's awesome! I'm glad the video was helpful!
Thanks planning to change the ceiling fan today. Thanks mate.
No problem 👍
Great video..I purchased exact ceiling fan for guest room last year now putting it up. Easy to follow instructions..👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you! I had someone install this exact fan but now it ticks when turned on. I’m in the process of trying to figure out it😅
I bought the same model but bronze for the living room its great looks good.
Very nice!
Getting ready to install this. Thanks.
Awesome! Be sure to let me know how the install goes.
@@TinkerForward ...sooo, I wish it would have only taken as long as your video. 😀 Total time 3.5 hrs from arrival and setting up to cleanup and departure. Your vid was super helpful as I knew what to expect. I even dug out the tester and used it for the first time...no issue thou-when she flipped the breaker, everything on the right top floor went dark/dead. Had to run extension cord from the kitchen to plug in floor lamp to see. I carefully removed old fan. Only thing wrong with it: one of the blade brackets had broken at the curve and needs to be replaced. Told my client, but she said install new fan any way.. Will donate old one to Goodwill.
As always something unexpected came up: the old electrical box was way larger and there was no way to connect the bracket for the new fan as intended by manufacturer. Replacing box was NOT an option. So I used heavy duty hollow wall anchors. There was just enough room at each corner where the motor unit hooks into the bracket for the longer & thicker screws to fit...and even if she wanted to swing from the fan, it will hold. On top of that, I was too lazy to get the 6-in impact extension from the truck and the 3-in took a lot more fiddling and dropping screws to screw the blade brackets on. Lastly, the little screws for the cover for the motor were a royal pain. I did use the wire nuts that were supplied by manufacturer instead of just electrical tape.
All in all, not bad for first time fan replacement/assembly. Client is very happy with her new fan and gave me $15 tip on top of the installation fee. Thank you again.
Although my fan wasn't exactly the same model, after watching your video, I was able to remove the top bell which was rubbing and making it impossible to sleep. I can now do a full repair of the ceiling to get the bell to fit correctly. Thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Was it rubbing and making a clicking noise? Husband just installed one and it sounds like a roulette wheel click.
@@mlred17 No, mine wasn't making any noise. It runs very quietly. I'm not sure why yours would be making that noise.
Super GOOD information and presentation!!!!!!!!
Thanks Bob, my pleasure! I'm glad the video was helpful!
If you’re installing a brand new Centreville, use the included LED bulbs. Don’t do what I did and try to use 8 watt bulbs to be brighter. The current limiter won’t allow 8 watt LEDs… I had new wiring installed (by an electrician), new switches (separate switches for fan and a dimmer switch on lights), new fan… blinking lights… Took forever to diagnose that it was the bulbs. I was freaking out the new wiring was shorting out inside the wall somewhere.
The sticker says 40watt max per bulb, so I didn’t even think the lamps could be an issue but apparently the limiter is set at like 5.00001 watts lol
Good to know, thanks for posting!
Remove the limiter. It can be done.
One of my Centrevilles was replaced with a Hampton Bay Riley
Ceiling fans used: Westinghouse contempra and Harbor Breeze Centreville ceiling fan (42” model)
the chrome really stands out!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
peaceful good times
It’s Brushed Nickel.
I know this is 4 yo but I just bought this same fan (used). I would have liked to see which screws went where, I don't know if all are there or not 🤦🏼♀️
I have the same fan made it easy to install thank
Awesome! You are welcome!
You made that look easy thanks
Thanks for watching!
ceiling fans move air around. So there no hot or cold spots in a room. I LOVE em. i use them summer and winter > There GR8 for winter! pull the heat down from the ceiling and move it around
Took me weeks find this kind fan model installation I found one in a rental Property I was painting try Figure out how hang the brackets.
i use it have it but i replaced as because it broke the blade and its damage the motor and it wobble lot so that fan i replace is with a hunter westminster the older version 2005-2010
Very well done!
Where u put the green one
Hey Jeff, my name is Michael... I just installed the same exact fan in my kitchen... Everything went fine except, when I turn the fan on. There's kind of like a clicking tapping sort of sound. And it doesn't stop until the blades stop spinning... The only thing that I wasn't able to do as far as the wiring, was... There was no separate ground wire in the ceiling box. So I just grounded the wire to the black bracing bar that gets installed first... I'd appreciate any input you can give me... Thank you!...
It's one of the good harbor breeze fans! keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
@Cpl Studios hi
Great video, is that fan a 3 speed?
Thanks! Yes it is
@@TinkerForward my sister has the same fan with a globe light kit. her chain for the fan broke off and I think I will have to replace the switch for her. Do you have any idea what replacement switch would work for it? any 3-way will work?
The green wire should connect to what wire ?you didn’t show the wiring part
Great job! I enjoyed your video!
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
I have an older house with only 2 wires in the ceiling. Black and white. No copper ground. Where would you connect the green ground wire coming from the fan motor. Perhaps ground it to a screw bolt
Thanks so much for watching! Was this video helpful? Are you working on any home maintenance projects?
Jjimi
Good work on video. Great job on explanation, as far as I could tell nothing magical happened. By magical I mean, "we are going to do X now" and then video cuts and X is done. I'mNot a fan of that. Thank you sir.
This video was VERY helpful.
2 years later, very helpful.
Super helpful video thanks brother keep it up with the good videos
You are welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I just installed the same exact fan, and huge issue the fan blades are rubbing badly against the Nickel, canopy, it's not centered and there is no way to fix it the bracket is held by four screws and two notches, no way to move it! Any ideas?
I think there is a hook on bracket to hang fan motor while doing wiring, so nobody should have to hold it. My HB fan had one anyway, maybe this one didn’t? Strange.
there is a slide in hook so you do not have to hold the motor when wiring
I have a harbor breeze fan and light system. The wall control is a single slide for dimming and a on/off switch. With the power switch on the slide for dimming controls both fan and lights at the same time. Is there a way to find the lights and not control fan? Much appreciated
Thanks for the great video!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Mine is making a rubbing noise. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?
What did you do with the grounding wire?
That's what i wanna know
Mine is rubbing against the top part housing cover. Is there a way to fix this ?
I’ve got 4 wires coming from my ceiling: copper (ground wire), black, white, and red. The instructions only account for 3 wires coming out of the ceiling. I’m thinking I should connect this “extra” red wire from the ceiling to the blue wire with the fan. Thoughts?
I was wondering that myself. I just installed one last night, but the wall switch for the fan doesn’t turn the fan on. The light switch does turn on the lights though. There’s a note on page 9 of the pamphlet that says “If there’s a second hot/power wire…connect it to the blue”, but I’m not so certain.
I got the 52 inch but no the mounting bracket. Where can I get one
What direction should the fan go for the summer time cool effect , clock wise or counter clockwise?
Counter clockwise for summer pull heat up, clockwise for winter to push heat down
Old Fan: Westinghouse Contempra Trio
New Fan: Harbor Breeze Centreville
Can you please show us how to connect the wires? My ceiling has 3 wires but the fan has 4? So lost and I have no one to help me out here. I’m on my own for this one😓
Awww why did you remove the westing house contempra trio I live those fans oh right it has problems but not a bad video harbor breeze Centreville are nice too
What happened to the Westinghouse
Can u make a video of this fan running all speeds?
What happened to the Westinghouse Contempra?
Nice video but I have one question I just installed this same fan last night and the biggest problem I had was putting the screws that hold the blades to the motor it was at such a angle to get a screwdriver in there I couldn't get the screws started so I had to end up taking the big nut off of the light fixture to get it out of the way to get a straight shot at the screws for the blades.Did you have any trouble with that part?
Hey, thanks for watching! At 7:42 I show how I install the screws for the fan blades. There is a small notch just under the motor that made it easier to use a screwdriver to remove and install the screws. This allowed me to stand right under the fan and not have to try to work at weird angle.
Why did you throw away the Contempra?
He said it was wore out
My screws aren’t connecting to the bracket from the motor
the brushed nickel looks nice on the new one, hunter's brushed nickel sucks.
@mountainboy23, yep I really like how the new one looks! Thanks for watching!
I have a similar cealing fan to this. How do you tighten the blades after It has been installed.
What is the song called
There is 3 Centrevilles at my house
Yo my ceiling has 2 white wires
The fan has 3 plus the green one
What do I do???? :(
You don’t just twist the wiring connections together and put electrical tape because you will run the risk of the joints coming loose and creating a short.
Fan
Is she a little kid or teenager?.
You got that fan from Lowes, I think.
Old fan: Westinghouse Contempra ceiling fan. New fan: Harbor Breeze Centreville ceiling fan.
Sounds like a plan!
Tinker Forward yeah
what did you do with the old fan
Hey @mountainboy23, I just threw it away
old fan: westinghouse. new fan: harbor breeze centreville
ttg and ceiling fans the Westinghouse is a contempra
I thought bro was pat Dugan😭
We are installing and have a rubing.
Can do without the music
,
That song again😡
Piss poor representation of how to actually connect the lower and upper bracket. Even slowed down and shortened its impossible to see how you did that. We will figure it out, but this was the only video that showed the bracket our model has. Sad. Thumbs down.
Hi Coley, thanks for your helpful comments and for being so polite on my channel, I appreciate it. It's comments like yours that make my day and inspire me to do more of these videos. This is the first video I have done on installing a ceiling fan and it's definitely not perfect. I'm not sure if it really deserves a piss poor thumbs down rating but if you think it does, then so be it. Thanks for watching!
Did you figure it out
